Hi there, I have built a mail server by following the 'howto' Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 14.04LTS). All is working well. However, when I tried to move my saved mails from my old Ubuntu server I recieve an error "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: You exceeded your mail quota" - As I understand it, because I am running 'virtual' then the mailbox quota is set in MySQL. I have been in and upped the quota from 10485760 to 104857600, restarted postfix, restarted MYSQL, restarted the server but still keep getting the message about quota. Any thoughts ?
not quite sure but if the value in the db is in bytes, then your quota can still be exceeded, depending on your mailbox size.
Yes, I get that, so what I did was transfer some mail, then got the message that quota was exceeded, then added a 0 in MYSQL (ie increased the size tenfold) restarted and tried to move one more stored mail, with no attachment - and still got the quota message - suggesting that increasing the quota tenfold in MYSQL had no effect ?
use this number in your sql setup: 2147483647 2147483647bytes = approx 256MegaBytes The maximum that you can enter in SQL. Also change (if needed) the top line in your /home/vmail/DOMAIN/USER/maildirsize file. Good luck Heeter
